Invitation Letter Diplomatic briefing
The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) continues our
special project “Ukraine outlook: insights from IER experts” – a series of regular
infomeetings for diplomatic community in Ukraine meant to discuss the latest
economic and political developments in the country.
We kindly invite you and your colleagues to participate in the meeting to be held online on
September 09, 2022, Friday, from 11:00 to 12:00 local time in Kyiv, Ukraine (via Zoom).
The main topic of the meeting – the Economic Consequences of the War
The IER estimated that real GDP declined by 39-40% yoy in the second quarter of 2022.
The situation in the following months merely changed. The challenges for economic
development remain in place: tight logistics, lack of liquidity, and high inflation pressure.
Due to closed official economic statistics, the information from business surveys (which
are conducted by the IER on a monthly basis) becomes an important source of
information. Economic trends and business expectations as well as challenges for the
development will be discussed during the meeting.
Presentation will be followed by Q&A session.

Oksana Kuziakiv, IER Chief Executive, Head of the Сenter for Contemporary Society
studies;
Oleksandra Betliy, macroeconomic, public finance, social and healthcare expert, IER
Leading Research Fellow;
Vitaliy Kravchuk, macroeconomic, monetary policy and financial market expert, IER
